As I write this I literally have a script ( https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite ) running deleting all posts and comments I made so I can delete my accounts and leave them with nothing. The last couple of days they have been prompting people to provide identification documents to access their accounts. This is going to start becoming more prevalent on platforms. I always hated the site but that’s crossed the line for me. So purpose of this post is just to give people a heads up while they still have access if they want to remove their data and / or delete the peice of shit from their life once and for all.

    I really think it’s nice that you’re trying to contribute positively, but I’m also a little bit exhausted after watching people post these kind of tools from almost a decade. Because it gives people false hope, and it continues to underscore the false belief that this somehow has the result that you programmed it to have.

    You actually cannot remove anything. And reddit will just revert your posts… They’ll all say “deleted user” but they will not show the “vandalized” comments they’ll all go back to the way they were. The automated tools to detect/prevent people doing this damage on their way out have been in existence for more than 10 years.

    Literally the only way is to stop using the damn product.
